Jacob's Ladder

Watched Jacob’s Ladder as a double-feature after Silent Hill, and truthfully, just about any movie would’ve upstaged Gans’, uh, interpretation? Jokes aside, Jacob’s Ladder is a beautiful, horrible, gut-wrenching mind-fuck of a movie that nearly brought me to tears on several occasions. The script was brilliant and intelligent and thoughtful and passionate. Tim Robbins’ performance is raw and excellent and multi-faceted. The visuals are awesome, simply and dumbly put, but that is the best, most accurate word I can find. Jacob’s Ladder keeps you guessing and suspended until the very final, brutal end. So smart. Can’t wait for a rewatch.
